I've got an oily spot on my hood foam where the PS pump pulley was spraying ATF. Now that the pump has been sealed, I'm looking for a way to clean the oil off my hood foam.

I replaced the foam a few years ago, so its still soft.

just need to clean it up a bit.

any suggestions, products, protocols?

hope everybody had a nice thxgiving

I would be careful with solvents - perhaps something like washing up liquid will help?

Don't leave that there - I'll take it to bits!

I agree with Stretch. The most aggressive I'd think you should use is Simple Green or one of the citrus degreasers.

thx fellas,

will do, and will report back

That stuff they sell the dollar stores, "Awsome" is a really good oil emulsifier.

If the oil is soaked in pretty good, it may not come out and leave the stain.
